No Meghan Markle, not a soul from the royal family, but Prince Harry was not left twiddling his thumbs on his UK trip to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Invictus. While fans kept their eyes peeled at St. Paul's Cathedral’s gate, hoping for a royal sighting, their wishes never materialized. Nonetheless, this visit solidified one fact, one undeniable truth- Britain still has a soft spot for its estranged prince despite him being miles away for years. 

As Prince Harry set foot in the UK, fans swarmed St. Paul's Cathedral, hoping for a glimpse, perhaps a handshake and a hello, from the Duke of Sussex. The 39-year-old engaged warmly with the crowd as they flashed their cameras to document the moment. But it was not just fans standing by Prince Harry on his big day. Even his extended family showed up to support him as he celebrated the 10th year of his brainchild. 

Princess Diana's family, including her brother Charles Spencer, and her sister Lady Jane Fellowes, graced the event. Prince Harry's cousins Lara Spencer, Louis Spencer, and George McCorquodale were also spotted entering St. Paul's Cathedral. The Duke received a warm welcome from his late mother's relatives and was photographed sharing affectionate embraces with them.

This outpouring of love towards Prince Harry at the event warmed the hearts of netizens. 

Since Prince Harry's departure from the royal circle, he has been under considerable scrutiny from fans. Rumor has it that one reason his wife, Meghan Markle, did not join him at the UK event was because she felt unwanted by the British public. Nevertheless, with such an open display of admiration for the Duke among British fans, it is fair to say he still holds his charm in royal territory. 

Netizens all over X were moved by the outpouring of support for the Californian royal.

Some also hailed it as a victory against the persistent negativity he has endured from the media all this time.

With the Invictus anniversary celebration now in the rearview mirror, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming trip to Nigeria, where Meghan Markle will also be joining. While the Sussexes appear to be staying true to their promise of redemption this year, the longing for a royal reconciliation will still be ever-present in the hearts of fans.
